How will 3D technology be used with virtual home tours?

Published Jan 15, 2010 | Matt Dunlap | Industry Questions

Blockbuster movies like Avatar have a created a need for 3D televisions. Whether this technology is gimmicky or not is not irrelevant. The major television manufacturers are all moving towards 3D television by the end of 2010.

Another trend is internet ready televisions and set top boxes that will deliver Internet content like Youtube videos.

How will 3D technology impact virtual home tours?

  • Do you think 3D is a gimmicky technology? Will it last?
  • Will virtual home tours be more immersive?
  • Is the current virtual home tour technology good enough?
  • Do virtual home tours make a difference in selling a home?

I don’t really see a huge shift towards these technologies in 2010 because the cost will be very high. Not only to buy a 3d television, but the equipment to produce the 3D videos will be, for the most part, out of the consumers hands. As with all technology, prices will fall and eventually we will all be able to buy a 3D camcorder for less than $500.
